Cambridge United 1991-93 long sleeve home shirt by Influence.

Probably the most recognised CUFC shirt outside of the Abbey Stadium and synonymous with the John Beck years when we so nearly upset the establishment and gate crashed the inaugural Premier League.

As worn for the U’s highest league position to date, 5th in Division 2 (Championship) in 1991-92. #cambridgeunited #cufc #matchworn #camutd #footballshirt

@pompeyshirts Agreed, I think it was only yourselves, us and a short lived Wolves H&A version that used this style.

[James King - Cambridge United Shirts @jamesdking76]

I am always getting asked about my Cambridge United shirts and which is my favourite.

With regards to the home shirt, it constantly changes from anything 1977-93 barring the Mileta years and I just really can’t make up my mind. I think a great deal of this is influenced by the strips worn by the U’s when I was young and probably hold an element of sentiment and nostalgia.

The favourite away shirt however always remains a constant. The 1990-91 Scoreline all white version which was only used on a handful of occasions, most notably the 1-0 at Molineux in the FA Cup 3rd Round.

Pictured below are match worn examples worn by Alan Kimble & Dion Dublin @DionDublinsDube as well as an original replica.

Whilst times change, I am a bit of a traditionalist and have always preferred a white or sky blue away kit and would like to see the return of something similar to the 50 year kit we wore back in 2020 as a one-off.

As always, should you have any old CUFC shirts or collections you may consider parting with that would compliment the archive, please get in touch via DM. All items considered and discretion assured.

@Slatsman @ShirtsInTheShed @icwhs @Showboatkits @BHAFC_Matchworn @thejerseydudek @pompeyshirts @TheDonsPool @toy_toys_shirts @bennjarni @classicshirts Trying to archive a match worn archive of every Cambridge United shirt since 1970. Only missing a handful now to complete the run including all variants like cups, poppies etc. Also like to collect old England and the odd bits from the 80s.

[James King - Cambridge United Shirts @jamesdking76]

@Scotty_mc10 Will still watch England in tournament football but it’s just not the same as it was.

Stopped watching the PL and MOTD years ago. I have absolutely no connection to it at all whatsoever. I just hope it never makes its way down the leagues.

[James King - Cambridge United Shirts @jamesdking76]

@teamslikeLuton Solid pro and pleased he is with us next season. A legend for LTFC though. Amazed you let him go.

NEW ADDITION:

Cambridge United 2025-26 match worn home shirt as worn by midfielder / centre back and Vice-Captain, Dominic Ball.

Ball arrived at Cambridge United for his second spell at the Abbey in the summer of 2025, making 35 league appearances and netting twice as Cambridge made an immediate return to League 1.

@80s_Kidz Everybody wants to rule the World - Tears for Fears.

Driving around Cambridge with him in the Summer of 85 in his VW Scirocco, I now realise I was ruling the world. Miss him…

[James King - Cambridge United Shirts @jamesdking76]

NEW ADDITION:

Cambridge United 2025-26 match worn Third shirt as worn by midfielder Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu.

Signed on a free transfer from Luton Town during last summer, Mpanzu would score 3 goals in 55 appearances across all competition during the successful promotion campaign.

To complete the kit, both variants of match worn shorts and socks were also obtained.

A black jersey is always popular amongst many fans and this one did not disappoint.

Also woven within the material was a double helix structure pattern running throughout the front and back panels as a nod to the ‘discovery of DNA’ in Cambridge by Crick & Watson in 1953.

@retrofootballnw A 10 year old me was watching in a pub in Cambridge with my old man and his mates. Crap picture on a big old brown box TV bracketed to the wall.

Remember it all as clear as day.

New addition:

Delighted to add these Cambridge United 1986-88 away shorts and socks to the collection.

Despite these shorts & socks not being actual match worn Cambridge kit, I recently stumbled upon a few original blank templates strips which are the exact same style as those worn by the U’s at the time.

There were also light blue shorts used in addition to the navy and the hunt continues for these.

I am still looking for a match worn version of this shirt for the CUFC archive and will happily part with a significant sum to secure one. If you have one stashed away (also interested in original non-match worn) or anything you may think of interest and may be thinking of parting with, please do not hesitate to get in touch through DMs. Discretion assured.
